I think these two months were a time when I was able to experience many new things. Each activity I took part in through the internship will be a great help for my future. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to learn so much :)

- Rahyang Je

It was an honor to have my first internship at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE). Over the past two months, I was able not only to learn about economics as knowledge, but also to gain meaningful hands-on experience by carrying out a variety of tasks. I was also able to grow further by taking time to think independently about economics. Through this internship, I learned a great deal and gained valuable experience, so I believe it became a major stepping stone for me. Thank you sincerely for giving me this precious opportunity.

Although it was a short time, it was very meaningful because I was able to engage in diverse and useful activities based on what I had learned so far. Through this internship, I was able to grow together with my fellow interns. Thank you for the past two months!

- Jaewoon Jo

Intern Researcher

Although it was a short period, I was able to gain a truly wide range of experiences. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to challenge myself with various kinds of content that I would not have attempted on my own.

Even when I encountered economic news before, I used to accept it as it was without having my own perspective, but through this internship, I was able, at least to some extent, to develop the ability to think critically through my own lens.

These past two months became an opportunity for me to reflect on what I need and what efforts I should make for my future and for my growth. I will use this experience as nourishment and continue to grow well! Thank you!!

My two-month internship experience at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE) has become a great asset to me. At first, it was difficult to adjust to an unfamiliar environment, but as time passed, I realized that all of those experiences had become the foundation for my growth. By participating in various projects and collaborating with my fellow interns, I learned a great deal and was able to broaden my knowledge by sharing ideas with one another. All of these experiences greatly helped me grow, and my internship at the Center for Free Enterprise (CFE) will remain an unforgettable and precious memory.

Although it was a short period, I was naturally able to learn much more about current economic issues, and I think I learned a lot by experiencing various tasks such as design and writing.

During this internship, I was able to view economics from a new perspective, whereas at school I had approached it only academically. Based on my internship experience, I want to become someone who can contribute more to society. Thank you for these two months, which felt short in one way and long in another!

- Kangsu Park

Intern Researcher

I applied for this internship because of my curiosity about economics, but I am leaving with even more valuable things than that. I was able to gain experience in various fields such as design and video production, and above all, I learned deeply about the free market economy. I learned how to think outside the box in a way I had not before, and the experience of receiving detailed feedback from experts was invaluable. Thank you for giving me this two-month internship opportunity!
